flora_explora@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Star Wars Shows the Future of AI Special Effects and It Sucks [404 Media]2·1 month agoYeah, that was weird to watch. Not sure if the speaker realizes how bad this new tech still looks.
And in the end he said that it is very important to use these AI models “with the full permission of the talent” and that they “had full access and the rights to the training data”. He obviously just considers Harrison Ford in this moment, but does he realize what that would mean regarding the AI models and their training data they use? And was the presented short film also created with full permission of all artists contributing to the training data? Was this just a blatant lie to make it sound like they work responsibly with AI?
flora_explora@beehaw.orgto Biodiversity@mander.xyz•A plant you’ve never heard of can do what scientists once thought impossibleEnglish4·1 month agoWeird article. It begins with a brief paragraph of the question of how life started and amino acids, but then goes on to talk about speciation and polyploidy. In the end, nothing is resolved and you are send to read somewhere else. With a basic (modern) understanding of polyploidy, nothing new is told here…
Because no one should give Google any more money! Buying second hand/refurbished is the only way it makes sense for me to get a device by a large corporation like that.
I’ve had a couple of refurbished pixel phones and they’ve each worked well for years. The battery health was at about 95% when I bought them I think.

flora_explora@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Microsoft Follows Google on a Controversial Decision - gHacks Tech News5·4 months agoNo, it shows Gulf of Mexico. The commenter just wanted to give some good alternatives that people could use
flora_explora@beehaw.orgto Biodiversity@mander.xyz•The return of the buffalo is reviving portions of the ecosystemEnglish1·4 months agoInteresting topic, but unfortunately this article reads like it’s written by AI. Poor editing and an assortment of short statements one after the other…
I’ll go listen to the Bisonology episode of the Ologies podcast and see if I can find more infos on the topic :)
flora_explora@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•China is quietly pushing ahead with massive 50,000Mbps broadband rollout to leapfrog rest of the world on internet speeds6·4 months agoThe Chinese gaming market is gigantic though and their 500 million gamers certainly need good internet.
flora_explora@beehaw.orgto Science@mander.xyz•The menstrual cycle can reshape your brain10·4 months agoWhile women make up 70 percent of cases of Alzheimer’s disease and 65 percent of cases of depression, only about half of one percent of brain-imaging research is related to women. This disparity continues even in drug approvals, such as lecanemabirmb, which U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently approved for the treatment of early Alzheimer’s disease, but it may not slow the disease in women.
Big oof!!!
“It’s high time to make the brain a major focus of women’s health,” says Sacher.
Or even better make women’s health the focus of medical research as it has been ignored for decades. Just like research has been on mostly white people.

If you liked the details in Moby Dick about whaling, you may also be interested in this great BBC series I’ve discovered a few weeks ago: Inside nature’s giants where they dissect large animals and explain their anatomy and evolution. There are also two episodes of stranded whales being dissected ;)
flora_explora@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•TikToker’s trip to China: The influencer or the influenced? - How Beijing's network of influencers across various platforms try to shape narratives on issues critical to its foreign policy11·5 months agoIt is indeed reminiscent of all the western influencers being invited by armies, police forces or prison systems (especially in the US). They also get paid for portraying a highly idealized or fake image of these institutions. Albeit there is a difference in that these influencers know upfront what they are getting into. Wanting to vlog about e.g. harmless-looking Chinese lifestyle topics and it being made into propaganda is a bit more insidious.
flora_explora@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Meta scrambles to delete its own AI accounts after backlash intensifies | CNN Business3·5 months agoMy point is that it doesn’t know for the reasons you gave. It is just hallucinating. So I don’t think the answer is trustworthy. Of course, it seems like a reasonable answer, but how do you get to the conclusion that the answer is truthful? It could just be made up because that was what sounded the most likely to the AI.
flora_explora@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Meta scrambles to delete its own AI accounts after backlash intensifies | CNN Business5·5 months agoNo, one is an actual answer to a question and the other one is a hallucination without any inherent information to answer the question.
flora_explora@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Meta scrambles to delete its own AI accounts after backlash intensifies | CNN Business30·5 months agoWell, but is this really a truthful answer by the AI or is it just predicting what some human would say?
flora_explora@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•The 11 weirdest things humans did to robots in 20245·6 months agoThe dog-poop collecting robot reminded me that in some countries people don’t go out with their dogs everyday. Somehow sad to know that there are millions of dogs just living at home with hardly anything to do :(
Hell (!) yeah! They sound awesome :O
